Toronto Blue Jays vs. Los Angeles Angels: Game Highlights

Hoffman struck out Zach Neto to open the ninth, but Mike Trout singled and Jo Adell and Jorge Soler were hit by pitches to load the bases. Pinch-hitter Yoán Moncada's RBI single made it 4-2.

Toronto manager John Schneider pulled Hoffman in favor of Varland, who needed only one pitch to get Nolan Schanuel to ground into a 4-6-3 double play, which was upheld after a lengthy review. Shortstop Andres Gimenez’s relay throw beat Schanuel, who slid head-first.

Ernie Clement doubled off Drew Pomeranz (0-2) with one out in the eighth. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was intentionally walked, and Sosa drove his double off the right-center-field wall for a 3-1 lead. Eloy Jiménez followed with an RBI single, and Toronto’s Tyler Rogers retired the side in order in the bottom half.

Blue Jays starter Patrick Corbin allowed one run and two hits in five innings. Reliever Spencer Miles threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings, and left-hander Mason Fluharty (1-0) got two outs in the seventh.

Jiménez drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, who have won three straight.

Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz was sharp, giving up one run and five hits in 5 2/3 innings, but Los Angeles lost its fourth in a row.

Mike Trout played his 1,366th game in center field for the Angels, tying Jim Fregosi (1,366 games at shortstop) for the most in franchise history at one position.

Up next Blue Jays LHP Eric Lauer (1-3, 7.13 ERA) will oppose Angels RHP Jose Soriano (5-0, 0.28) in Wednesday’s series finale. Soriano has won each of his starts while allowing one run in 32 2/3 innings.
